Ronald Koeman always had complained that it did not have 'nine', but this week has discovered how Martin Braithwaite, if they follow him giving opportunities, is able to answer to perfection. The Danish forward opened the marker this Sunday against Osasuna, to the half hour of game, in a played full of rebounds in which the rival goalkeeper took out the ball until in two occasions.
Braithwaite Finish putting the knee to send the spherical at the end of the meshes. A defender of Osasuna tried to take out the balloon from inside the goal, but the goal had gone up already to the marker before being reviewed previously by the VAR. In the room VOR, after checking that there had not been fault to the guardameta on no account, accessed to give the target by valid.
The '9' of the Barça follows taking advantage of to the maximum the opportunities that offers him Koeman, and annotated this Sunday the one who went his third goal along the week, if we add the doublet that annotated in front of the Dynamo Kiev does hardly some days in the fourth day of the phase of groups of the Champions League.
With his so much in front of Osasuna, Braithwaite premières to level goleador in LaLiga Santander 2020-21 and outlines like one of the 'covered' of the Barcelona in the appearance goleador. It fits to remember that the forward already had marked the course happened in LaLiga against the Mallorca, but still had not premièred in the present edition of the domestic competition.
Opportunities for the 'covered' of the Barça
The confidence of Koeman is allowing him surrender every time to greater level, winning his minutes of form more than deserved and taking advantage of the absence of an important player like Ansu Fati. It foresees that Koeman, taking into account that the party of the Wednesday in front of the Ferencvaros will be unimportant when being the Barça already classified for eighth of Champions League, follow awarding minutes to the Danish.
The Dutch trainer will take advantage of, with all probability, to take out an alignment that include to several players that have not had too many minutes up to now, and that allow to give rest to weights weighed increasingly loaded physically. Players like Aleñá, Trincao or Riqui Puig could go back to have minutes, of the same way that Junior Firpo that it could play of head office or right side because of the drops.
